  When Do I Install a Larger Fuse

 

  by Khalid R. Mustaffa

 

 

Cars in Houston normally starts by introducing, and eventually answer the question.  Cars in Houston, however does not want to  risk misinterpretation, so the answer is Never.

Car manufacturers dedicate a budget for research and development, and they chose the certain voltage for a reason.  The consequences of not obeying the manufactures could be as bad as starting the car on fire.

The Science behind fuses:

  •  Basically a protection device designed to blow when the circuit’s amp load exceeds the harmless limit.
  • A blown fuse will not allow electricity to pass through, preventing unsafe load to the rest of the circuit.
  • if you are to install a 15 amp fuse, on a circuit that is designed for 10 amps.  This is going to cause sensitive parts to fry, it would furthermore overheat wires to a point where insulation my melt too.

On a concluding note, Cars in Houston would like to re-warn you from bypassing or eliminating fuses under any condition.  If the fuse is constantly blowing, it basically means that there is a miss in the circuit, or that there may be a short in wiring.
